Have you guys noticed how unforgiving the sun has been lately. The heat and intensity is just insane!! It does all kinds of crazy to the skin. Sunblock is a must. A brightening range that helps to fight signs of aging due to sun exposure and brighten the complexion would help even more!L'Occitane recently introduced some new additions to the L'Occitane Immortelle Brightening Range which helps give you a brighter, more youthful and evenly-toned skin - Brightening Foaming Cleanser, Brightening Mist and Brightening Hand Care SPF20. L'Occitane held and appreciation workshop over the weekend for their loyal cutomers, which is really awesome, and I was so excited to be invited to experience the range.

The Immortelle Brightening range are made up of two main flowers, Immortelle flower and Bellis Perinnis (White Daisy). Immortelle
Essential Oil has been traditionally used for its
anti-inflammatory, pain-reducing, calming and cell-regenerating properties. It
also possesses a powerful ability to stimulate the production of new skin cells
without aggravating the skin. Bellis Perennis has astringent properties, and
has been widely used in herbal medicine. White Daisy extract is used to reduce the
appearance of dark spots and pigmentation, thus keeping skin looking and
feeling more radiant, youthful looking and smoother.

Jenny, L'Occitane Retail Consultant Trainer worked on a model and while explaining the benefits of the products. She also said that the skin is meant to be treated gently, be it while cleansing or while massaging. Oopsie for me because I never have time to properly pamper my skin. It's always a 'do in a flash' skincare routine because I have somewhere to be. Too little time. *sigh*

I love the scent of this Brightening range. It's soft, floral and calming. The texture of the cream products are more on the thick side to moisturise the skin. The cream mask I particularly fancied, my skin soaked it up like a sponge. There's also a special message technique for the cream mask. Demonstrated on the model, I could see a difference on her half face. It looked lifted making her look fresh. I suppose you would have to make time to do the massage which I feels loads better when some else does it for you. Although this range is suitable for all skin types I feel it's a tad heavy for my oily skin. Perhaps used in smaller amounts.

Brightening Mist

A convenient must-have that you can slip into your
handbag to keep skin hydrated. This alcohol-free mist can also be sprayed over
makeup to help it stay on longer throughout the day.

The non-oily, protective lotion evens out your skin tone
and helps visibly reduce the appearance of age spots on your hands. It also
comes with sun protection benefits.

Smoother, softer hands that look fairer and more even-toned. Recommended for
people who are always in the sun, or whose hands are often in contact with
water.
